SHOCKING New Yorkers Responds to Mamdani

All right. Asking New Yorkers if they

will vote for a communist mayor.

Self-proclaimed Democrat socialist. Some

people are calling him a communist. Do

you think communism would work well here

inside of the largest city of America?

We're going to go full communist. This

is This is not going to work out well.

There's enough of these old white men.

Time for a change. Government grocery

stores. Good idea or bad idea? Where's

that money coming from? Taxes. You think

New York City will fall if this guy is

elected mayor? Oh, there's no question.

It's already It's already barely

surviving. Today I'm here in New York

City and today we're going to be asking

the New Yorkers here who they're going

to be voting for for their next mayor.

Right now, just recently, a man by the

name of Zoram Mandami just won the

primary for the Democrats here inside of

New York City. He's a self-proclaimed

Democrat socialist who's running on

ideas such as freezing the rent, $30

minimum wage, defunding the police,

government ran grocery stores, and free

buses for everyone here inside of New

York City. Donald Trump has came out and

called him a communist and right now on

prediction markets like poly market he

has a 71% chance of winning this

election next to his competitors like

the current yeah he's actually kind of

like dominating those odds right now uh

it's pretty impressive on the betting

markets though those betting markets can

be heavily manipulated so you kind of

have to be careful with the betting

markets so the betting markets you know

somebody with some dollars can

purposefully sway the betting markets to

make it look like somebody has more of a

chance than they really

uh and then get more media attention and

it's sort of like a cheap advertisement

almost. So, Eric Adams courtesy. All

right, let's get to the interviews. And

why so? Uh because he represents working

people and is offering policies that

counter the establishment and that

resist the influence of billionaires

over this city and uh tax the

billionaires out of the state. Yeah,

he's the the working people's candidate.

What's your favorite policy of Zoron?

Uh taxing billionaires into

non-existence. What do you think about

this guy potentially becoming the next

mayor of New York City? Oh, hell no. No,

I don't like that guy, man. And what do

you think will happen if this guy wins?

I have no idea. But I was here when uh

Dinkens was the mayor, so I know bad

times. I was complaining about Adams,

but I would take him four more years

than that guy. This guy's wearing like a

Comedy Central badge. You see, it almost

looks like it was the first time he

heard about Zoron. That guy, he's

looking at like a Tik Tok of him. Who

would you like to see become the next

mayor here in New York City? Uh, Zoran

Mandami, of course. Mandami. Uh, you

know, I really like what he says about

the uh the rent freezes are a big one

for me. Um, city-owned grocery stores

are also a huge factor for me. How could

that be a huge factor for you? Kroger's

got margins at 1.8% 8% and it has some

of the largest scale in the country and

their net margins are are barely

profitable.

I don't use the buses that often, but I

you know that that's pretty cool for the

bus takers of New York. How do you feel

that this guy could potentially be the

next mayor of New York City? Dude, we're

we're doomed if he's mayor. I mean,

we're going to go full communist. This

is this is not going to work out well.

And uh I've resisted leaving New York

for for many reasons over the years, but

I I think this is going to be the final

nail in the coffin. And I I won't be

able to survive in in the city with him.

No way. If this guy wins, you're

leaving. I'm going to have to I mean, my

business will be destroyed. What worries

you most about him being elected? I'm

worried about there being complete total

chaos and our mayor actually promoting

chaos, you know, promoting and allowing

all the Yeah, but what chaos?

Look at that lady in the background.

She's like, "Ooh, this interviewer is

hot."

All the protesters, all the peaceful

protesters to to do their thing. And

it's it's going to be really scary. This

scary nonsense, you know, there there is

Okay, I get it. The protest. Oh, let's

listen to these people. For some reason,

I feel compelled to watch these people

here in New York City. No. What do you

guys think about the ideas of defunding

the police and a $30 minimum wage?

I think that's nuts. That would that

would be so hard to maintain. That would

be ridiculous to maintain. I don't like

the whole defund the police things. I

think there's if anything fund them

more, get training better when you

teach. Yeah. Make this girl famous. Fund

them. Where? What does that do? Hold on.

We must leave a comment.

410.

410. Make her famous. We like her. Now

remember, you always have to upvote your

own comment. Okay, back to the video.

Government grocery stores. Good idea or

bad idea? I don't Where's that money

coming from? Taxes. What's Where's the

money coming from? I love insane. Who do

you want to be the next mayor of No. Go

back to her.

[Music]

I can't I can't uh Zo Zohar. Zohar

Zohar. Yeah. Mandami. I already voted

for him so in the primary. Yeah. And

what makes you want him to be the next

mayor? I think we need to switch up. Uh

I want someone young, ready to go.

really changing and focusing on the

younger generation and just really

making the city giving it something new.

Uh Ko, we need we need something fresh

and we got to get him out. Right here we

have some Democrat for Mayor Zoron signs

out here outside here in the East

Village. Would you like to have a

Democratic socialist mayor of New York

City? Um Democratic as long as they're

like for the people, I guess. Yeah. Like

Oh gosh. I think Democrat means for the

people. So, we're going to go with that.

Yeah. Yeah. I I don't I don't need to

hear from this.

What's this guy? This guy's wearing a

New York City. He looks like he's like

this. He's like got a He's got his

concealed carry in his crotch and he's

like, "This camera better not show my

imprint." And who do you support for

mayor here in New York City? Not that

guy Zultani, whatever his name is.

Zultani? Do you mean like Zultan? the

guy who's going to tell you your future.

I don't want Zultan or what's that you I

forgot. I used to like the government

the governor Cuomo. I don't know about

about him right now to be a mayor. You

know, one of the New York millionaires

came out and he said that he would he

would sponsor any like free runners,

someone who's like from outside, you

know, and maybe that that would be a

good option really. So now millionaires

are coming together saying we got to

find somebody we can fund to make sure

that this Zoron Mandami guy doesn't win.

If he wins. Yeah, I found it. Yeah. Not

that Zolon guy. Not this guy.

Anyone but that 25 cent quarterback

Zolon.

Get it? Cuz it's a quarter to play the

game.

A lot of business will go. Yan, you've

been on the channel a few times now and

now that the mayor might be potentially

Zoran Mandami, will you vote for him?

Um, I I can't imagine anyone I would

vote for after him. I think I would vote

for, you know, that truck over there

over him. I vote for a truck before I

vote for anyone other than the Zolon.

No, put mildly, I will not be voting for

him. My hope is that Wait, but now

you're not going to vote for what? Many

other people will not be. The only thing

I can really say is I I am concerned.

From what I've heard, only about 5% of

New Yorkers voted for him. So, in the

primary, uh, but that's a deceptive

edit. Deceptive. Anyone I would vote for

after him, I think I would vote for, you

know, that people will not be the only

New Yorkers there. Okay, this is not

fair because the guy is referring total

population

and they're throwing up round three of

voting in the Democratic primary. So if

you take 10 million people in the

greater New York area, I mean, let's

see, what's the New York population?

It's got to be like 8 mil. Yeah, it's

8.2 mil. So technically, if you take the

city of New York, you don't even need to

take the greater New York area. Just

take the city of New York, divide into

that, you know, initially they were

reporting 450,000 votes. We'll we'll do

both numbers here in just a moment. But

if you divide that in, that works out to

5.4%.

If you use the final count numbers, it's

closer to 6.3%. The guy's actually

right. So I think they're unfairly

editing

over this guy's what he's saying because

he's probably the one of the first to

actually bring a statistic here and be

kind of right about it voted for him. So

in the primary primaries tend to be low

turnout elections so fringe candidates

do better because they have a lot of

energy and in the regular voting mass

just doesn't. The hope is is that a lot

of different people coales behind Eric

Adams because this is unacceptable. It's

one thing to have Los Angeles or Chicago

have some fringe, you know, DEI mayor,

but it is another to have an Islamist

communist who's 32 and whose mom was a

Bollywood millionaire director who has

never worked a day in his life and was a

failed rapper try to run New York City.

That's not New York City is not a city

that we can sacrifice to Islamism or to

communism. There's too much here, too

much business, too much real estate. I

don't know if it works the same way. I

don't think people can just look past

New York the same way and let it go. And

why do you think it'd be a bad thing to

have an Islamist as a mayor here in New

York City? You want to look at an

example of a western city that's had a

effectively Pakistani Muslim mayor, you

look at London, right? And London has

become unlivable, high crime, gangs,

extreme prices, only the very rich and

very poor can afford to live there.

That's effectively what would happen

here. Another one of Mandami's policies

is to defund the police and bring in a

new group of police that would just be

outreach and be helping people here on

the streets. What do you think would

happen to New York City Mandami? I like

this guy so far. I actually think he

brings some some interesting insights.

Now, I'm not I like I'm not anti- this.

I'm not like pro the anti-Islamophobia

stuff. anti-Islam. I worry I'm like

double negative negative this. So I I I

I try to always put religion or race or

all this stuff behind,

but the logic of the guy beyond that

portion seems to be the best so far out

of everybody that's been interviewed

here

does go through with another one of his

policies to defund the police. Portland,

Oregon is tried it. That's right. That's

the same example that I used when I

heard him say it.

go. That's the problem. Look at what

Portland did. They tried defunding the

police. They tried legalizing drugs and

it was a complete disaster. And now

they're trying to U-turn and they're

like, "Oh my gosh, we got to fund the

police more. We have to make crime

illegal again. We have to make drugs

illegal again." Because guess what

happened? The crimeing got good

except with tremendously more crime.

It's a much larger city. Pharmacies will

close. Many stores will close. The same

liberal white women that voted for him

will be targets of Tom from MySpace in

the chat says Tom from MySpace for

mayor. Let's go. Both robberies and

assaults on a constant basis. And then

only then will people realize that some

of these changes are very hard to undo.

Very Yeah, he's 100% right. I like this.

Let's fast forward a bit more. Who's

this guy?

I'm guessing he's Jewish. Not sure what

gives it away. Oh, he's a Christian. So,

do you think Jews should be worried

about him winning? Yes, I think so. Will

you be voting for Adams if he runs

again? Whoever is the best one. I don't

care who is the guy as long as good for

my safety and the safety of my city.

That's it. It's good for business, good

for everything. Good for this guy. I

like this guy. I'm not looking for

chaos. Do you think government ran

grocery stores is a good idea?

No. What about defunding the police?

Horrible idea. Let's go.

What do you think will happen to New

York City if they do defund the police?

I think it will go I mean it's already a

dangerous city. I think it will get

tremendously worse. I think it's

horrible for our kids. I think it's

horrible for our elderly. I think it's

just a horrible idea. I don't know why I

would ever defund the place. And would

you vote for Zora Mandani? Oh,

definitely not. Bro, that guy's a

tourist. He ain't from New York.

He came across the bridge from Jersey.

New York would be in bad shape if

Montani got elected for sure. I'm an

immigrant, so I came here from nothing

and I'm was able to build a future to

give a better future for my kids. I come

from a a country that is pretty much

social. You know, Italy is a pretty

social country. It doesn't work here.

You know, this is a capitalist country.

Well, I mean, that's actually a really

good comparison because uh the pigs of

Europe are considered, this is offensive

to these countries, but this was just

the nickname that was used and it's a

good sort of moniker for remembering the

sovereign debt crisis in Europe. But the

pigs of Europe were considered Portugal,

Italy, Greece, Spain. basically they

were the countries that weren't

contributing to the European Union and

their economies were kind of dragging

down the euro uh and they were leading

to the the debt crisis uh in Europe

uh at least in part obviously right and

so we went through fiscal austerity

because you had these expansionary and

growing countries like France and and

one of the reasons by the way why the

United Kingdom Brexited but you had

France and Germany and their economies

growing really well uh and you didn't

want to overstimulate those countries.

So the ECB was stuck between Iraq and

hard place because you couldn't

overstimulate Germany and France, but

you needed to stimulate Portugal, Italy,

Greece, and Spain because of heavily a

lot of their social programs that

unfortunately just led to lower tax

collections and worse balance sheets.

And then unfortunately you go through

austerity and you can't even collect

trash. I mean, look up like 2013 trash

collection in Greece. It's a disaster.

country and Mondani is trying to make

not even socialism is trying to make a

communism country. I mean like just go

back where you were you know what do you

think about government go I always think

that's funny when people say just go

back to where you were does he is he

referring to like mum dami leave the

country because I'm not I'm not a fan of

saying that cuz this country is built on

immigrants but if he's saying go back to

other countries where people have tried

socialism and see the failures that I

can agree with. And grocery stores would

that be a good idea? Not at all. Not at

all. That that is totally totally wrong.

I mean it would not make any sense in a

country like United States. I mean I

think it's wrong anywhere in the world

but United States is like this country

is capitalism because you can come here

and become somebody. You can live a

simple life and just live long, get your

job and work for a good company or you

can rise the Dude, this guy is is saying

all the right things. I'm assuming this

is his kid and this isn't like a diddy

situation. The kid looks unconcerned.

So, I'm going to go with this is kid.

What a great thing to say. This is a

country you come to. You could work your

ass off and become someone. Hell yeah.

The ladder and become somebody. You know

what I mean? And hopefully give more

opportunity for your kids. I guess

that's what his parents did for him,

right? So, they moved from a different

country to come to this to United

States. They build a good wealth so he

could be educated and he's trying to uh

basically eliminate what the parents had

the opportunity to do the in this

country which doesn't seem fair to me.

Who would be voting for for the election

for the mayor here in New York City? All

those commies. We have a message for

those commies. They don't know what the

[ __ ] they're doing.

Um Zoron Mdani. And why do you want to

vote for Look at her. Look at her face.

She was she was afraid to admit to that.

Look at that. Watch this.

Mayor here in New York City. Um Zoron

Mamani. And why do you want to vote?

She was afraid to admit it for Zoro

Mandani. Um I think that his like

beliefs and what he wants to do for the

city is like I resonate with most of

them and if not all of them. What's your

favorite one? Um

just like um she doesn't know his

policies.

His like

he talked about like making public

transit and like everything like buses

buses. He talked about buses and making

them free. Oh gosh. Let's go to someone

else. Can we go back to the 410 people?

Oh, who's this guy?

This guy looks like he just escaped uh

the hospital or something. Makes you

want to vote for Mandami. Well, if he

wasn't running, I would have voted for

Cuomo. But when Mandami entered the

race, it's like there's enough of these

old white men and for a change. That's

why. What makes you excited about

potentially having the first Muslim

mayor here in New York City? Why not?

They had it in London. So many of the

chats like where's the ID?

So why not? Would you like New York City

to become the next London? No, I'd like

it to stay in New York City. But one

thing about mommy counter, uh, not since

JFK, and I can say this, have I ever

heard a politician speak that felt so

honest as he did. That's that is one

thing that people like about Mom Dami or

whatever is they're like, "Oh, it's just

a nice guy." Hi. One of his goals is to

make this city pretty much Trump proof

by making enough money through other

streams of revenue like extra taxes on

the rich to not need money from the

federal government. Yeah. Yeah. I'll put

that. Yeah. Sure. Sure. Yeah. Would you

like to see New York City get Trump

proofed? Yeah, that would be good. That

would be good. There's no ICE agents,

are there? Wow. 14. Let's load. That's

interesting about Mandami. He's 33 years

old. He was born in Uganda and now he's

been here in the United States since he

was 7 years old. Yeah. Do you think

people should be able to run for office

if they are not born here in the United

States? Okay, who cares? Yeah, let

anybody run who has good ideas and

stuff. All right. Oh, we're going to go

back to Oh, maybe we'll get back to the

blondies.

America. I don't think communism really

even exists. If you look at Russia,

China, they're truly not communists.

They're what?

What? It's called the Chinese Communist

Party.

just as capitalized and they're

controlling and they're they're not even

squared as what you would expect

communism to be by definition. So, it

doesn't really exist. And some of his

policies are such as government ran

grocery stores are a $30 minimum wage or

they're going to freeze the rent. What

will happen in New York City if this guy

does win? Um, so going through each of

those. So, government is in no position

to ever dictate these types of things.

And every time it does and puts its

heavy hand on the economy, it always

makes it so so much worse. I'm from

Moscow originally. I would know. We ran

from there once. And yeah, he kind of

looked like a Russian fixer a little

bit. Like not do it again. But if you if

you create government subsidized stores,

you will destroy regular stores while

jacking up prices of this stuff. Anyway,

the amount of taxes you're going to have

to increase to do this. He's published

this budget is going to triple what it

presently is I believe from something

like 20 billion from was it 20 to 60

billion or two billion to six billion I

don't I don't remember what it is it's

at least the guy has some insights

compared to everybody else who's given

opinion here so but then as people start

to leave you're looking at taxing the

people that stay even more cuz the taxes

go up and they have to raise them more

and more and more because the budget

keeps falling short as far as real

estate people are going to just stop

developing they're going to start

warehousing apartments At some point,

the government is going to be stuck

owning some of these tenementss, which

of course is going to be more tax

obligations, and the city is going to

become Detroit. We know what happens.

Detroit fell apart in a generation. Do

we want New York to be another Detroit?

What happens if the stock exchange

leaves? What happens if all the big law

firms leave? Cuz people will want to

leave. Yeah, you are starting you're

getting um I think Citadel is partnering

to create the Texas Stock Exchange to uh

discredit some of the power of the

NASDAQ and New York Stock Exchange. Both

by the way in uh New York, in case you

didn't know, NASDAQ is in Time Square

and the New York Stock Exchange is on

Wall Street.

New York City will fall if this guy is

elected mayor. Oh, there's no question.

It's already it's already barely

surviving. In the last 12 years, things

have not been going well. All the

various state bills, co The city is not

the same. Everything's very expensive.

It's really only for the very rich and

very poor. Young people move here, live

like four to an apartment, paying their

entire salary in rent and groceries. If

you continue to move in that direction

and take an even sharper leftist turn,

plus you start importing various

Islamist ideologies, the city simply

can't survive. No one wants to stay

here, and there's no money to be made

anymore. And one of Mandami's policies

because he wants to essentially make New

York City Trump proof by raising enough

money through other forms to people that

are making a million dollars. Will they

leave? Soviet Union also had a curtain

or a wall. Except it kept people in

because the thing about communism is

it's so much fun you can't leave. And it

only works when I love this guy. People

who produce, which is the minority,

can't leave.

people who produce, which is the

minority, can't leave. That's like a

quote right there. Communism is so great

that the actual producers aren't allowed

to leave. That's a great clip right

there because Mami has been caught

saying that he wants to take control of

the factors of production, which would

mean taking control of the people who

actually function and do stuff rather

than only take.

Nice. Let's go.

This Russian should run.

He should run as Vladimir.

What this little [ __ ] does not

understand is that this is America.

People can just leave New York. He's

gambling that they cannot that they

cannot move with their job or they can't

move with their family. He's sorely

mistaken. And the other thing he has to

remember is that he is the mayor. He's

not the governor. meaning that people

don't need to leave the state to avoid

him. They can just leave the city. And

the more he tries to trump proof it by

charging his people more, the more those

people will leave, the more monetary

shortages he has, the more he must raise

taxes, and the cycle will continue. He's

more than welcome to try. No, no, no,

no. Don't try. Don't try. Don't try. Can

we get more over the block? Why not

advertise these things that you told us

here? I feel like nobody else knows

about this. We'll we'll try a little

advertising and see how it goes.

Congratulations, man. You have done so

much. People love you. People look up to

you. Kevin Praath there, financial

analyst and YouTuber. Meet Kevin. Always

great to get your take.
